[there's some shuffle as the journal is pushed open, and after a minute of considering what to say, Sweets speaks]

I was reminded not too long ago [read: Halloween] that I promised someone [read: Mindy] a John Wayne movie marathon. I fully intend to follow through sometime this month, but I was wondering if there was anyone else who might be interested?

I know that some people don't know who John Wayne is, or ... possibly even what movies are, so it could even be considered a cultural event. You can see a piece of something from our worlds that you wouldn't normally see in yours. Granted, these are old western films, so they don't necessarily have the best track record in terms of realism -- that wasn't really what they were for -- or ... matters of race and gender, but they're still rather enjoyable in their own right.

[a beat. he's an academic, you'll have to forgive him.]

My point being, I thought it would be a good community building exercise. I'll even bring popcorn.

My first wasn't so bad. More frustrating because communicating was infinitely harder, but I liked codes.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Mine haven't been too terrible. They've been more interesting than anything else.

You're lucky. I'm just glad the blood wasn't a permanent thing. Though I could've done without the memory loss.

The castle does a lot of things you can do without.

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

It does. But it also gives a lot, too. And I don't mean just the physical things.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

What has it given you?

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

Time. Friends.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Those are things definitely worth having.

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

They are. Never realized how vital they were.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you have them now.

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

As am I.

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

So would you like to join us for movie night?

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

I would. Where and when?

[zone-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Probably in the game room -- they have a large screen TV there. When is ... a little trickier, but I'll let you know.

[wittybaudelaire.livejournal.com]

Great. I look forward to it.
